*** Specifications ***
Overall length: 81 cm (32 in)
Blade length: 64 cm (25 in)
Blade thickness: 5-6 mm (about 1/4 in)
Weight: 900 g (2 lbs)
Point of balance: 11 cm (4.33 in) from the guard
Blade material: EN9 medium carbon steel (apparently tempered to about 40 HRC)

*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Light weight, nimble sword
+ Beautiful ornamented hilt
+ Well made steel scabbard
- 3/4 tang with only a single brass screw, too weak for hard cutting
- Blade has a relatively low carbon content and mild tempering
*** Verdict ***
This seemed like quite a promising sword, with a unique design and nice handling. However, as it turns out I cannot recommend it for serious test cutting, not only because it comes without an edge by default but more importantly because the hilt assembly is not sturdy enough. The abusive testing I did wasn't even as hard as what I've done with other swords but it made the handle loosen up quickly.
Considering the comparatively affordable price it's still worth considering as a collector's piece. It handles well and the hilt looks quite nice. Aside from the structural weakness (which hopefully the manufacturer might improve) it's seems fairly well made. Also I haven't seen any other reproductions of Japanese army swords from that era (1883 - 1945) so far.

Russia sought a warm-water port on the Pacific Ocean for their navy and for maritime trade. Vladivostok was operational only during the summer, whereas Port Arthur, a naval base in Liaodong Province leased to Russia by China, was operational all year. Since the end of the First Sino-Japanese War in 1895, negotiations between Russia and Japan had proved impractical. Russia had demonstrated an expansionist policy in the Siberian far-east from the reign of Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century. Through threat of Russian expansion, Japan offered to recognize Russian dominance in Manchuria in exchange for recognition of Korea as within the Japanese sphere of influence. Russia refused and demanded Korea north of the 39th parallel to be a neutral buffer zone between Russia and Japan. The Japanese government perceived a Russian threat to its strategic interests and chose to go to war. After negotiations broke down in 1904, the Japanese Navy opened hostilities by attacking the Russian Eastern Fleet at Port Arthur in a surprise attack.

Jap

Jap is an English abbreviation of the word "Japanese." Today it is generally regarded as an ethnic slur among Japanese minority populations in other countries, although English-speaking countries differ in the degree to which they consider the term offensive. In the United States, Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation. In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, during and after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.

History and etymology

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "Jap" as an abbreviation for "Japanese" was in colloquial use in London around 1880. An example of benign usage was the previous naming of Boondocks Road in Jefferson County, Texas, originally named "Jap Road" when it was built in 1905 to honor a popular local rice farmer from Japan.

Later popularized during World War II to describe those of Japanese descent, "Jap" was then commonly used in newspaper headlines to refer to the Japanese and Imperial Japan. "Jap" became a derogatory term during the war, more so than "Nip." Veteran and author Paul Fussell explains the usefulness of the word during the war for creating effective propaganda by saying that "Japs" "was a brisk monosyllable handy for slogans like 'Rap the Jap' or 'Let's Blast the Jap Clean Off the Map.'" Some in the United States Marine Corps tried to combine the word "Japs" with "apes" to create a new description, "Japes", for the Japanese; this neologism never became popular.

【The Russo-Japanese War】
It occurred by the aggressive act of Russia into Manchuria, which was located east of China and north of Korea. Japan fought the war against Russia for the security of Manchuria, Korea and Japan.
As a matter of fact, prior to that, in 1894-1895 there had been a war between Japan and China. The Qing dynasty of China tried to subordinate Korea to it, and Japan fought against China to make Korea an independent country. This war ended with Japan's victory. Japan made Korea an independent country, and also received from China the Liao-dong peninsula of Manchuria by treaty with China. But Russia wanted this Liao-dong peninsula because it had ice-free harbors. Then, Russia, in association with Germany and France, exerted strong pressure and forced Japan to give the peninsula back to China using a powerful argument. Japan did not have the power to reject, so the Japanese regretfully gave the peninsula back to China. After that, Russia said to China, "We returned the peninsula back to you, give us a reward." As a result, Russia received many rights and interests in China. In addition, Russia entered the Liao-dong peninsula and made it their own without any cost! Russia did such a sly thing. But this was not the first time Russia had engaged in such tactics, since this country had been doing the same kind of things in many places, widening their territories with deception and invasion. This expanding country, Russia, was a great threat to Japan in those days. The giant country was trying to swallow Manchuria, China, Korea and then, Japan. That was why Japan had to fight the war against Russia. This war was to protect East Asia and Japan from Russian invasion. Most of the people in the world never imagined that this small country called Japan could defeat that giant country. But Japan miraculously won the war, although the victory was won by a slim margin. Japan owed the victory much to the help of a great Jewish banker in the USA, Jacob Shiff, who undertook much of the war cost for Japan. In those days there were many persecutions of Jews in Russia, so he wanted Russia to be punished. In addition, the American president, Theodore Roosevelt, mediated between Russia and Japan to end the war and establish peace, so the feeling of the Japanese to the USA in those days was nothing but gratitude and respect.
【Change of the American People's Attitude】
But after the Russo-Japanese war, strange rumors spread in the USA, and many absurd articles appeared in newspapers such as, "Japan will easily take the Philippines, Hawaii and then, all of the Pacific Ocean. Americans and Europeans may become suspicious of Japan. When the President Theodore Roosevelt commanded the American fleet during a world cruise to visit Japan, many people thought that the Japanese would surely attack the American fleet. But contrary to expectations, the Japanese greatly welcomed them. However, such trust shown by the president was not in the majority. The American government soon began to look upon Japan as an enemy, and made a plan to control and suppress Japan. That was called the "Orange Plan". The USA began to look upon Japan as their enemy 35 years before the war, and was preparing to suppress Japan year by year.
【Offer for JointManagement of the Manchuria Railroad with the USA】
Just after the Russo-Japanese War, an American railroad executive and a great business man, Edward Harriman, visited Japan to talk with Japanese leaders. At the time, as a result of the victory on the Russo-Japanese War, it was already determined that Japan would inherit the rights of Manchuria Railroad. Harriman met the Japanese leaders and suggested, "I will provide for the cost of the Manchuria Railroad. So, let us do a joint management of the railroad together." If the USA and Japan could have worked together on the Manchuria Railroad, it would have been wonderful, however, it seems that it was difficult for Japan to continue to work with such a country not admitting racial equality. In fact, Japan was the first in history to propose the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on the stage of international politics.
It seems that it was a historical inevitability that these two countries would someday fight against each other.

Nikolai II, Premier Witte, and the Russo-Japanese War (1905)

Nikolai II, Premier Witte, and the Russo-Japanese War (1905)

Nikolai II, Premier Witte, and the Russo-Japanese War (1905)

From the legendary movie "Nicholas and Alexandra"
Historical background:
http://www.rosimperija.info/post/1927
https://drevo-info.ru/articles/10999.html
https://ria.ru/history_spravki/20131223/985834664.html
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Николай_II
About the movie:
Nicholas and Alexandra is a 1971British biographical film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and written by James Goldman, based on Robert K. Massie's book of the same name, which partly tells the story of the last ruling Russian monarch, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra. The film won Academy Awards for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration (John Box, Ernest Archer, Jack Maxsted, Gil Parrondo, Vernon Dixon) and Best Costume Design (Yvonne Blake, Antonio Castillo), and was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Janet Suzman), Best Cinematography, Best Music, Original Dramatic Score, and Best Picture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_and_Alexandra
Plot Summary
The final decade and a half in the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra, the last czar and czarina of Russia, and their family is presented. This phase of their story starts in 1904 with the birth of the last of five offspring and their only son, Alexei, who Nicholas and Alexandra see as the continuation of the three hundred year old Romanov dynasty in ruling Russia following Nicholas. Global forces seem to be shifting which threatens that dynasty. Other countries, such as Britain, have a monarchy that is largely symbolic, where the key decisions are made by an elected parliament, unlike the Russian duma which is under Nicholas' control. Many of Nicholas' decisions have led to poverty and starvation among the Russian populace, especially among the working and peasant classes. Those unpopular decisions include the unnecessary war with Japan over Korea, Nicholas who wanted an ice free port in the Pacific at the price of Russian lives in the war. Many of these decisions are also against the the advice of his inner circle of government ministers. As such, there is an uprising of the working class, Vladimir Lenin who has formed the Bolshevik Party under Marxist ideals. Government actions against the working class, regardless of if it was sanctioned by Nicholas, leads to greater public dissatisfaction with his rule. But the greatest threat to the Romanov dynasty may be Alexandra. Her unpopularity grows through her association with Siberian peasant and self-professed holy man, Grigori Rasputin, who states that he is the voice of God. Alexandra, a highly devout woman, is grasping at anything that will keep hemophiliac Alexei alive, she seeing her faith in Father Grigori as the only reason Alexei has survived as long as he has. Her unpopularity increases even more with the onset of WWI as she is from a German background, Germany with who Russia is at war.

*** Specifications ***
Overall length: 81 cm (32 in)
Blade length: 64 cm (25 in)
Blade thickness: 5-6 mm (about 1/4 in)
Weight: 900 g (2 lbs)
Point of balance: 11 cm (4.33 in) from the guard
Blade material: EN9 medium carbon steel (apparently tempered to about 40 HRC)
Hilt material: Brass (guard and fittings), hardened leather with copper wire (grip)
*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Light weight, nimble sword
+ Beautiful ornamented hilt
+ Well made steel scabbard
- 3/4 tang with only a single brass screw, too weak for hard cutting
- Blade has a relatively low carbon content and mild tempering
*** Verdict ***
This seemed like quite a promising sword, with a unique design and nice handling. However, as it turns out I cannot recommend it for serious test cutting, not only because it comes without an edge by default but more importantly because the hilt assembly is not sturdy enough. The abusive testing I did wasn't even as hard as what I've done with other swords but it made the handle loosen up quickly.
Considering the comparatively affordable price it's still worth considering as a collector's piece. It handles well and the hilt looks quite nice. Aside from the structural weakness (which hopefully the manufacturer might improve) it's seems fairly well made. Also I haven't seen any other reproductions of Japanese army swords from that era (1883 - 1945) so far.

【The Russo-Japanese War】
It occurred by the aggressive act of Russia into Manchuria, which was located east of China and north of Korea. Japan fought the war against Russia for the security of Manchuria, Korea and Japan.
As a matter of fact, prior to that, in 1894-1895 there had been a war between Japan and China. The Qing dynasty of China tried to subordinate Korea to it, and Japan fought against China to make Korea an independent country. This war ended with Japan's victory. Japan made Korea an independent country, and also received from China the Liao-dong peninsula of Manchuria by treaty with China. But Russia wanted this Liao-dong peninsula because it had ice-free harbors. Then, Russia, in association with Germany and France, exerted strong pressure and forced Japan to give the peninsula back to China using a powerful argument. Japan did not have the power to reject, so the Japanese regretfully gave the peninsula back to China. After that, Russia said to China, "We returned the peninsula back to you, give us a reward." As a result, Russia received many rights and interests in China. In addition, Russia entered the Liao-dong peninsula and made it their own without any cost! Russia did such a sly thing.

Just after the Russo-Japanese War, an American railroad executive and a great business man, Edward Harriman, visited Japan to talk with Japanese leaders. At the time, as a result of the victory on the Russo-Japanese War, it was already determined that Japan would inherit the rights of Manchuria Railroad.

【The Russo-Japanese War】
It occurred by the aggressive act of Russia into Manchuria, which was located east of China and north of Korea. Japan fought the war against Russia for the security of Manchuria, Korea and Japan.
As a matter of fact, prior to that, in 1894-1895 there had been a war between Japan and China. The Qing dynasty of China tried to subordinate Korea to it, and Japan fought against China to make Korea an independent country. This war ended with Japan's victory. Japan made Korea an independent country, and also received from China the Liao-dong peninsula of Manchuria by treaty with China. But Russia wanted this Liao-dong peninsula because it had ice-free harbors. Then, Russia, in association with Germany and France, exerted strong pressure and forced Japan to give the peninsula back to China using a powerful argument. Japan did not have the power to reject, so the Japanese regretfully gave the peninsula back to China. After that, Russia said to China, "We returned the peninsula back to you, give us a reward." As a result, Russia received many rights and interests in China. In addition, Russia entered the Liao-dong peninsula and made it their own without any cost! Russia did such a sly thing. But this was not the first time Russia had engaged in such tactics, since this country had been doing the same kind of things in many places, widening their territories with deception and invasion. This expanding country, Russia, was a great threat to Japan in those days. The giant country was trying to swallow Manchuria, China, Korea and then, Japan. That was why Japan had to fight the war against Russia. This war was to protect East Asia and Japan from Russian invasion. Most of the people in the world never imagined that this small country called Japan could defeat that giant country. But Japan miraculously won the war, although the victory was won by a slim margin. Japan owed the victory much to the help of a great Jewish banker in the USA, Jacob Shiff, who undertook much of the war cost for Japan. In those days there were many persecutions of Jews in Russia, so he wanted Russia to be punished. In addition, the American president, Theodore Roosevelt, mediated between Russia and Japan to end the war and establish peace, so the feeling of the Japanese to the USA in those days was nothing but gratitude and respect.

From the legendary movie "Nicholas and Alexandra"
Historical background:

https://drevo-info.ru/articles/10999.html
https://ria.ru/history_spravki/20131223/985834664.html
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Николай_II
About the movie:
Nicholas and Alexandra is a 1971British biographical film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and written by James Goldman, based on Robert K. Massie's book of the same name, which partly tells the story of the last ruling Russian monarch, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, and his wife, Tsarina Alexandra. The film won Academy Awards for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration (John Box, Ernest Archer, Jack Maxsted, Gil Parrondo, Vernon Dixon) and Best Costume Design (Yvonne Blake, Antonio Castillo), and was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Janet Suzman), Best Cinematography, Best Music, Original Dramatic Score, and Best Picture.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_and_Alexandra
Plot Summary
The final decade and a half in the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra, the last czar and czarina of Russia, and their family is presented. This phase of their story starts in 1904 with the birth of the last of five offspring and their only son, Alexei, who Nicholas and Alexandra see as the continuation of the three hundred year old Romanov dynasty in ruling Russia following Nicholas. Global forces seem to be shifting which threatens that dynasty. Other countries, such as Britain, have a monarchy that is largely symbolic, where the key decisions are made by an elected parliament, unlike the Russian duma which is under Nicholas' control. Many of Nicholas' decisions have led to poverty and starvation among the Russian populace, especially among the working and peasant classes. Those unpopular decisions include the unnecessary war with Japan over Korea, Nicholas who wanted an ice free port in the Pacific at the price of Russian lives in the war. Many of these decisions are also against the the advice of his inner circle of government ministers. As such, there is an uprising of the working class, Vladimir Lenin who has formed the Bolshevik Party under Marxist ideals. Government actions against the working class, regardless of if it was sanctioned by Nicholas, leads to greater public dissatisfaction with his rule. But the greatest threat to the Romanov dynasty may be Alexandra. Her unpopularity grows through her association with Siberian peasant and self-professed holy man, Grigori Rasputin, who states that he is the voice of God. Alexandra, a highly devout woman, is grasping at anything that will keep hemophiliac Alexei alive, she seeing her faith in Father Grigori as the only reason Alexei has survived as long as he has. Her unpopularity increases even more with the onset of WWI as she is from a German background, Germany with who Russia is at war.

Review: Kyu Gunto (Russo-Japanese sword) by Universal Swords

*** Specifications ***
Overall length: 81 cm (32 in)
Blade length: 64 cm (25 in)
Blade thickness: 5-6 mm (about 1/4 in)
Weight: 900 g (2 lbs)
Point of balance: 11 cm (4.33 in) from the guard
Blade material: EN9 medium carbon steel (apparently tempered to about 40 HRC)
Hilt material: Brass (guard and fittings), hardened leather with copper wire (grip)
*** Pros / Cons ***
+ Light weight, nimble sword
+ Beautiful ornamented hilt
+ Well made steel scabbard
- 3/4 tang with only a single brass screw, too weak for hard cutting
- Blade has a relatively low carbon content and mild tempering
*** Verdict ***
This seemed like quite a promising sword, with a unique design and nice handling. However, as it turns out I cannot recommend it for serious test cutting, not only because it comes without an edge by default but more importantly because the hilt assembly is not sturdy enough. The abusive testing I did wasn't even as hard as what I've done with other swords but it made the handle loosen up quickly.
Considering the comparatively affordable price it's still worth considering as a collector's piece. It handles well and the hilt looks quite nice. Aside from the structural weakness (which hopefully the manufacturer might improve) it's seems fairly well made. Also I haven't seen any other reproductions of Japanese army swords from that era (1883 - 1945) so far.
